Upanishad Ganga - the extraordinary story of Satyakaam

If you're not aware, since a few weeks ago, DD is broadcasting a brilliant serial called Upanishad Ganga. It has been directed and produced under the guidance of Chinmaya Mission.

Stories in the serial are episodes from the scriptures and Indian history, highlighting the eternal values that the Hindu way of life represents. The acting, storyline, direction, music, everything has simply been going a few notches in every episode. It is broadcast between 10:00 and 10:30 every Sunday on DD National.

The episode last week was the story of Satyakaama Jaabaali, a keen aspirant who is denied admission into any gurukul because of his low birth and unnamed ancestry. His mother is courageous enough to admit that she has been a daasi in the service of many masters and does not know who has fathered him. But aptly is he named Satyakaama, for his earnestness in the search for truth at last impresses a true master and he is accepted.
